All meetings of recognized boards, committees, and commissions of the Borough are open to the public and are held
at Borough offices, 350 E. Dahlia Ave., Palmer, AK, unless specified otherwise. Three or more Assembly Members
may be present at advertised public meetings of federal, state, and local governments or other entities. Meetings are

The Matanuska-Susitna Borough Public Works Department, Road Maintenance Division wishes to bring to
the attention of the Borough residents and property owners that it is illegal to plow snow from private property
onto or across the public road right-of-ways. Illegal plowing of snow onto the road right-of-way reduces
the width of the driving surface, creates safety hazards, restricts sight distance, creates drainage problems
during spring run-off, and makes it difficult and more costly for snow removal operations. Additional costs
means additional taxes. Borough ordinances allow a fine of up to $500.00 for each violation. We ask for the
cooperation of all responsible citizens of the borough.

if the animal is spayed/neutered
or $30 if the animal is not spayed/neutered.

Setbacks for structures are:
10 feet from a property line, 25 feet from a Right-Of-Way or Public Use Easement,
and 75 feet from any water body.
Docks, piers, marinas, aircraft hangars and boathouses may be located closer than 75 feet and over the water,

all applicable state and federal statutes and regulations.

The registration is good for three years.
If you have any questions please call the
Animal Care and Regulation Shelter at 746-5500.

Violating these setbacks may make financing your property (buying or selling) difficult,
and could be expensive to correct after you build.
